Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K, dated October 27, 2023, is filed by PNM Resources, Inc., Public Service Company of New Mexico, and Texas-New Mexico Power Company (collectively, the "Company"). The filing serves to announce the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, via a press release incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.1.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. These figures are contained within the referenced press release (Exhibit 99.1) and are not explicitly detailed in the body of this 8-K document.
Material Changes and Non-GAAP Measures
The Company utilizes non-GAAP financial measures, specifically "ongoing earnings" and "ongoing diluted earnings per share," to evaluate operations and set management goals. These measures exclude:
- Net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges.
- Net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.
- Pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business.
- Certain non-recurring, infrequent, and other items.
Management states these measures remove variances not indicative of fundamental changes in earnings capacity. The filing does not detail specific material changes in financial condition compared to prior periods within the text provided.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The Company provides "ongoing earnings guidance" to reflect management's expectations of financial performance. However, the filing explicitly states that:
- Ongoing earnings guidance is not a GAAP measure and does not represent an expectation of GAAP net earnings.
- Management is generally unable to estimate the impact of reconciling items between forecasted GAAP earnings and ongoing earnings guidance without unreasonable effort.
- Consequently, a corresponding GAAP equivalent for forecasted ongoing earnings guidance is not provided.
The filing includes a limitation on incorporation by reference, noting that the information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
